How do i go about changing the circuit breakers in my house?
Question:
Answers:
If you want to replace a specific breaker, it might be as easy and pulling out the old one. Some boxes allows you to pop them out. In others, it takes some removal of a face plate and tools.
Turn the power off TO THE BOX before you do this, to be safe.
If you want to replace the whole box... well, if you have to ask the question, you might not be qualified. This sort of thing is best done by a licensed electrician. While you might be handy with tools, the risk of fire, electrocution, etc. is too high with an improperly installed box.
more info please...trying to replace the whole box or just individual breakers? are you trying to put a larger amp breaker in and why?
Definately need more info
By yourself, YOU can't!! According to law, you must hire a
licensed and bonded electrician because the danger of being
electrocuted is so great.!! Do things right, and everybody is
happy with the results.
Think how it would feel for someone to come up behind you and whack you between the shoulder blades with a bat---that is what happens when you mess with electricity. You can not up your amps in the house without changing out the box and this takes a great knowledge of electricity--if you don't have it hire it done--it leads to a longer life.
